A Baby Born in Straw Poverty

December 25, 2005

Recently, I read an interview with Bono, the lead singer of the group U2. Asked about his religious beliefs, he replied, “I think that there is a love and a logic that lies behind the universe. So I believe in God. I also see, as an artist, the poetic appropriateness of that unspeakable power manifesting itself as a baby born in straw poverty. And that’s why I’m a Christian.” My sermon for today is just an elaboration of Bono’s wonderful Christmas sermon.
